Halo Next-Gen Improvement thread
Generally talk about some features you would like to return,added, or be removed in the next games. An overall MP thread in which a lot of arguing is probably going to happen. Here are some things brought up on the subject.

Personally, I think the most opaque debate is the one about Personal Loadouts and if or if not they should return.
I think that they should return, but NOT in their current form. First, make them weapons only. Then, place the DMR, the LightRifle, the Boltshot, and the Plasma Pistol on the map. Additionally, allow these choices:
Primary Weapons:
Assault Rifle
Storm Rifle
Battle Rifle
Covenant Carbine
Secondary Weapons:
Magnum
Bishop Beam (Cut from H4)
SMG
Plasma Rifle
Also, since we all know that these options lack much substance, obviously more customization is needed. Luckily, we have Weapon Skins which should be expanded on to the point where they're as worthy as customizing armor.
[spoiler]
Instead of having weapon skins be limited to individual weapons and cluttering the UI with a thousand duplicates of the same weapon, let skins be applied to each gun and be accessible by a menu called 'Customize Weapon'. Furthermore, weapon skins can also be applied to individual parts of the weapon and thus allowing combinations of skins. For example, on your Battle Rifle, you could have the Static Skin on the stock, have the Salvage skin on the grip, the Arctic skin on the body, and the Blast skin applied to the scope.[/spoiler]
Many people will say that loadouts add a 'rock-paper-scissors' effect that ruins combat and makes Halo a guessing game, I disagree. While yes, you don't know if your opponent will have an Assault Rifle or a Carbine, what of it? Regardless if you have PLs or not, you're never going to know what your opponent will have. It's always a guessing game, and it's always been a guessing game.

Things I want back for Halo 5:
-HALO THEME
-Old Medals
-Old SFX
-Dual Wielding
-SMG
-One big open forge map
-Ton of custom settings
-Firefight
-Playable Elites
-Old infection
-Reach UI
-Invasion
I have a ton more this is just a few of my top priority ones.
My idea for Firefight 3.0
Normal Firefight but more interactive maps, open and close bridges, turrets etc.
At the end of every set you have a boss round.
Set 1 - Lich
Set 2 - Scarab
Set 3- War Sphinx?
Set 4 - All 3
Perhaps flood/sentinels included in Firefight too?[/quote]

I think loadouts would be better if all weapons were available from the start, I never liked having to be close to level 50 for a lightrifle.

Pretty much it I guess. Probably forgot things though. Edit: Didn't mention obvious things like de-scoping instead of lolflitch, but that's way too obvious to include anyway.

Edited by Apotheosis: 2/26/2014 6:11:22 AMIt hasn't always been a guessing game. In h3, depending on the starts, you knew for sure that everyone had an AR or BR. Let's Look at the Pit and say it's AR starts. There's a couple BR's on either side, so in a 4 v 4 match, you know it's likely to run into at least two guys with BR's. One guy will have the sniper, and after the power weapon rush, you'll have a pretty good idea of who holds the power weapons. This allows you to plan, think, and be aware in each encounter. Player selected loadouts and ordnance drops especially destroy all of that.

It's all covered bro, I did this with everyone, exactly one year after Halo 4 launched. So I have nothing else to say
-
-Get rid of personal ordinance or make it to where it drops AA's -Less linear campaign -Less button pressing/make it not enter a mini cutscene every time -Take plasma pistol and plasma grenades out of load outs Just to name a few.

Edited by Indominus: 2/26/2014 12:37:23 AMWhat about heavy vehicle firefights? Imagine charging towards an army of Covenant on a warthog (with a gunner) and flatten down infantry like grass. In Forge World. Edit: Include HEAVY custom options.
